1 Kings 11:1-3
King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray.

There probably was a lot of inbreeding in his family afterwards. A couple generations later the region was full of birth defects.

Moabites? Ammonites? I wouldn’t want my kids marrying things that sound like they just crawled out of the primaeval slime. “Don’t marry those one-celled organisms, kids”.
Mark Adams spews:
Could you mean people from Sedro Woolley, Concrete or Lyman? Moabs are from the first son of Lot and Ammons people from the second son of Lot are people.
So des this mean Soloman was the original Horatio Hornblower? Archetype for a fictional Starship captain not particularly known for keeping it in his pants and loving many women including Princesses.

It’s good to be the king.
Godless Heathen spews:
Solomon couldn’t have screwed ammonites because they went extinct in the great C-T die off event. Besides, they were shellfish and he was Jewish.
